nand kernel open failed

after I flash with CWM, I get this when it trys to boot android "nand kernel open failed"
Also, in CWM, I get "E:Can't find misc"
installing nand without CWM works.

bump- I searched and didn't find anything helpful. I've tried 3 different roms

"Can't find misc" should only appear if you don't have a misc partition in NAND. (which is created when flashing CWM)
And nand kernel open failure probably means theres no zImage or initrd.gz in the boot partition.
Try flashing CWM from the CWM thread and then a ROM.

How did you transfer the zip file to SD? Did you use magldr? If so try re-transfering using your comp, as Magldr sometimes corrupts them.
Ricey

Bump.
Did a clean install of TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.3.1 and got the "nand kernel open failed" error.
I formated the SD-Card two times, reinstall cwm 150mb partition 3 times and still get the same error, first time within almost 1 year of android on my HD2 ._.
Any ideas or solutions welcome.

and another bump and sorry for my bad english =)
i get the "nand kernel open failed" error too.
i installed radio and hspl 2.08
then flashed MAGLDR 1.13
continued with CWM (250mb)
then formated my sd-card und put TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 on it
after installation, i get the error.
redid all 2 times now, nothing works.
NEED HELP ^^

Likewise i am getting it with hyperdroid v12

Typhoon doesn't use 250mb CWM, use the one provided with rom 150MB System/5MB Cache (ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.5), most "nand kernel open failed" are down to wrong CWM size

I'm getting the same error, but only with sense 3.0 roms. Any other roms I've used have installed have worked. Is there a certain step I'm missing with installing sense 3.0 roms? I'm using MAGLDR v1.13 and Clockwork Recovery Mod v3.0.2.5. I flashed recovery_150m_cache_5m.zip onto the phone using magldr usb flasher. Any ideas?

150mb for sense rom is definitely to low!
Read the rom's thread carefully guys!
It says there what CWR partition is needed.
Sense roms need SD CARD PARTITION so read the thread (it's first page).
If you have read it and your CWR partition looks exactly as it was given in the rom's thread then do task29, hspl, magldr 1.13 and CWR.
If it still doesn't work try different roms or try CLK.

Thanks for the response. How do I create a 5/240/5 partition through CWR? The last partition I made was just installed through .zip on CWR. Sorry for the questions, new to the hd2.

do all beginners understand this? you are probably putting the 'clk' version of the rom in your storage card for installation. you need the 'magdlr' version of the rom for clockwork mod to correctly install android

Hi guys, i had the same problem, and i figured maybe i can show u what i did, to help u.
i went to THIS thread and followed the instructions:
"Installation Guide for MAGLDR 1.13"
the error occured right after i flashed the MAGLDR_CWM_Recovery_v3.2.0.0_for_NexusHD2_135M.zip onto my HTC HD2.
the only thing i had to do was enter magldr boot menu (hold off button while booting)
then i choose AD RECOVERY
CWM started up and i choose install zip from SD card
ofcourse i have placed NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.0_NAND_(Android-2.3.5).zip onto the ROOT of my SD card previously.
the .zip file installed perfectly and then i rebooted my phone.
all was ok after that..
hope this helps!

AD SD Booting not working :(

Hello,
I have installed Magldr 1.3 + NANRDOID MDJ 2.6 ..
I am unable to go to the boot from ad sd option ... As in if i have to update any .zip file .. and I choose the option for ad sd boot .. it will get stuck in GO GO GO screen ..
Please help me ..
I have used task 29 and installed everything again ..
NOTE : I have installed a new sd card and updated the recover_250 file also.
Thanks ...

Have you installed a CWM 1.3 partition? You need to flash a partition from here to provide you with CWM Recovery. I know you say you have a recover_250 file, but is it the latest version?
To go to CWM you need to select the AD Recovery option not Boot AD SD.

If you are using magldr 1.13 with cwm 1.3 partitions you no longer go to Boot AD SD. To enter CWM you need to go to AD Recovery on magldr menu.

I had the same problem.
but now i have another problem which recovery should i take? 150 250 400???

This depends on what ROM you want to install using CWM. A large ROM like a Desire HD build requires more then a light ROM with only the essentials baked in. If you really aren't sure what to flash just check the guide accompanied with the ROM.

does this mean that I have to install CWM every time i want to install another ROM??

Technically, no. Not unless the partition layouts for the different ROM's you are trying are different and in turn they require you to run DAF (which re-partitions your NAND storage).
If they are the same then your partition layout won't be changed and your recovery partition, which is where CWM resides, won't be affected at all when switching ROM's.

but i could also install the biggest one(400) and everything would work because I can't have a too small partition???
could that work??

I can't find Run DAF.exe

I want install a NAND ROM but i can't find the Run DAF.exe.

No Daf.exe for those two Roms.

This ROM needs a MAGLDR 1.13 installed on your HD2 and you need to flash CWM Recovery first with downloading the Recovery and then flashing into your HD2 with DAF.exe and once it's complete, you can install any MAGLDR rom for CWM Recovery from AD Recovery Menu. If you need more details or help, do not hesitate to PM me.

Thanks. But when i try format my SD card, it says: The memory card is write-protected. Please release the write protect switch.

Any help please?

... have you tried releasing the write protect switch? To be fair, I don't know what that is but just have a look around, I'm sure you'll be able to find it somewhere.

Solution as follows in this case:
Insert your micro sd card into an sd adapter and make sure the switch is up on the card, this hould release the "write-protection" and in your computer try to copy some files into your SD Card and you will see. If this is succeeded then just pull out the micro sd from it's dapater becaue i am assuming last time you use the micro sd in an adaptor (converter to normal SD) the switch was pulled down and it enabled the write protection on the micro SD.
Please let me know if this worked for you.

HI! well u need to install the rom from MAGLDR. go to the 8th option 'AD recovery' to boot into clockworkmod. If u havent installed it, please do so. Search for the partition required by those roms and install the appropriate CWM. There r many guides for doing this. BUt you can always PM me and i will personally guide you with links and evrything
Give me a thanks if u found this helpful

Every single rom stuck at its logo.

Hey guys, i got here a hd2 with HSPL 2.08, aMAGLDR V1.13 build: 1st feb. 2011 and CWM Recovery v3.0.0.5. The problem is - few hours ago i had some old android version, so i decided to upgrade. I downloaded a few rom's and none of them worked. The version of the old android was 2(point) something, gingerbread. I tryed to install : touchwiz, Slimroms_LeoV7.2, Sea_JB V.2B, NexusHD2-JellyBean-CM10.1_V2.3 and one more Jelly Bean. None of them worked! Every single one of them got stuck by the logo of the rom. What am i doing wrong? Please help me, guys!

What model hd2 do you have?(us or EU)
What system partition size did you use??
What type of install, nand, dataonext or nativesd?

The EU model. (i'm not sure i understood your second question right) My memory stick is FAT32 partition, 8GB, idk wich class. And i'm trying to install the Nand version. I'm sorry for not writing those stuff earlyer.

feherneoh said:
You most probably need to reflash recovery with a new partition table, because the old system partition is too small. For EU model I suggest you to use DataOnExt instead of NAND, but you will have to repartition your card.

That daf you used is not a CWM, that's a ROM that doesn't require clockworkmod. Just use the NAND Toolkit and flash CWM from there.

Thank you! I'm installing it now. I'm fallowing the guid of this video - Install NativeSD Rom's with 4ExtRecovery HTC HD2 4.2.2 Jellybean or ICS FIXED

Step #10 from this post.
Do not use 150 and 5, these are the defaults for another ROM. Find your own values in your ROM's thread.

when i tried to do the steps again it stucked on USB Flasher mode
Wait USB...
!!!!!!

Done
Thanks alot my friend this step i was totaly ignoring it
so thanks alot for your help :good::good:
